Hi,

I have recenly bought and installed a new hard drive and installed Vista onto it. I have my original drive with XP on it but had to disconnect it whilst installing Vista as I didn't have enough power connections at the time to power both drives. I have tried get vista and xp to dual boot using BCDEDIT to set up the drive but I cannot seem to get it to work. I used the command line;

bcdedit /create /d "Windows XP"

I think the /d refers to the drive letter, I later realised the the letter of the xp drive is Now E: and the vista drive is now cformally XP). I have tried to add the command above with the drive letter e: but it wont work.

I am getting the dual boot screen but it is saying that the Ntldr file is either missing or corrupt.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance
